Sainted Wife Barb asked me if I was going to have a “Black Friday”
sale this week. I laughed about it for a couple of minutes, then
realized it wasn’t a bad idea. Especially since I have a bunch of
stuff to do this week before Thanksgiving.
There are no new sale items on this list, but every item has been
reduced in price. Including the mystery boxes. Which surprised me
because I wrote this last week:
I have not reduced prices on the Comic Book Mystery Boxes. The $30
price (including shipping and handling) is the lowest I’m willing
to go for the amount of effort required to make and ship the boxes.
If you are hoping for a lower price on these mystery boxes, you are
hoping in vain.
Why the change of heart? Mostly because I’m coming to believe that
the “market” for these mystery boxes is entirely different than the
market for the other items I sell here. So, after this sale, I’m
going to return to my former method of selling the mystery boxes.
Watch for an update in the next week or so.
Back to this week, here’s how these VAOS sales work...
First come, first serve. In other words, the quicker you e-mail me,
the better your chance of getting the item or items. Only e-mail
orders will be accepted.
All the items are in very good or better condition unless otherwise
noted.
Items will be shipped via United States Postal Service. There is
a $5 shipping/handling charge for up to four items via media mail.
Add $1 for every two additional items. The charge helps defray my
expenses.
Payments are by check, money order or PayPal. My PayPal address is
the same as my email address. Purchases will be shipped within a
week of checks clearing, money orders received or PayPal payments
received.
Because this is a one-man operation done between family, household
and work responsibilities, these items are only available to buyers
within the United States and to APO buyers.
Here are this week’s “Black Friday” items...
